A beautiful new edition of Steadman's 1968 work, now available in paperback. The force of social satire and fantasy in the origina...l text of Alice in Wonderland is as relevant today as when the book was first published in 1865.

Philippe Martin creates his close-ups by "stacking" images inside his computer. To create one picture, he takes dozens of photogra...phs, each time focusing the camera on a slightly different part of the subject.

The result is almost three-dimensional photographs of animals and plants, with such sharpness and brilliance that they appear to leap from the page.
